Just introducing myself. My wife has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, she is feeling really anxious and worried about things. 

We have an appointment with the consultant on Thursday, I am guessing to discuss options/treatment plans??

was just told the date and time as it was an appointment secretary that called us so no real context as to what the appointment was about. 

  • Hi PaulB24 welcome to the forum.. it is a worrying time for you both just now and this waiting time feels like you are in limbo. It's natural to be worried, we all are. It's good that you are going with her as sometimes we get so uptight we don't always take things in so it's good to have another set of ears. I'm.assuming she has had all biopsies etc and this is you going to get all the results and hear what the plan is and what the next step is for her. I know it may sound silly, but when she knows what she is dealing with she may feel relief and that's OK, its because things are happening  and she is more certain rather than being in limbo. My very best wishes to you both and Hope to see you in the forum.

  • Hi Gail

    Thank you for your message. Yep I want to be there at her appointments to support her.

    she had her biopsy and was told it’s a positive diagnosis yes and now is the first appointment (she was in hospital for something else and was told on Friday) I am presuming this appointment is to discuss what the treatment and next steps are and what stage the cancer is at.
